HANGMAN'S DAY.
Ready to Die,

PRINCESS ANNE, MD, Feb. 1.-THE
execution Of Jims Stevens will take place
shortly after noon to-day. He retired at
10 O'Clock last night and slept well, arts
ing early this morning. He ate hearty
breakfast. Stevens says he is ready for
his doom. He appears calm and uncon-
cerned.
LATER-Stevens WAS hanged at 1851
p. m. 81
The execution was witnessed by about
eight city persons. Stevens showed no
signs of nervousness. At the scaffold, ,
while his spiritual advisor was speaking,
he gszed upward and his lips moved as in
prayer. His death was very easy, his
neck being broken.
The crime tor which Stevens was exc.
cuted was committed on the night of
July 10, 1856. His victim was Mrs.
Mary Trehorn, white woman
eighty-one years old, who lived
entirely alone about eight miles from
here. Stevens, on the night mentioned
entered her domicile through window
and committed an outrageous assault on
her. He was quickly hunted down, lodged
in jail and at the October term was tried
and convicted. Stevens has all along
protested his innocence.

A citizen of Graham writing to Fort
Worth gentleman says about the engineer
corps of the Fort Worth Western: "Cap-
tain NJ. o. Hall, chief engineer of the
Fort Worth Western, with his efficient
corps accomplished last week what no
other corps has ever done IN Texas. They
run a satisfactory line in all respects
from Graham to Throckmorton, g
distance of thirty-eight miles,
in less than five days, crossing
the Brazos river, and running twenty-one
miles of the thirty-eight in two days.
Without any exceptions Captain Hall is
the best preliminary engineer in the state
and has the best drilled corps. Each
man understands his duty and takes
pride in its prosecution. The Fort Worth
Western struck oil when they procured
the services of Captain NJ. 0. Hall and
let him pick his men2'
For noble and unostentatious good
deeds, the employees of the Fort Worth

The above case of the Island City Say
ings Bank vs.. August Sac itleben is of
considerable importance. Sachtlebep,
the defendant in error, was one Of sew
eral hundred depositors in the Island
Savings Bank at the time Of its suspen-
sion two years ago. His claim amounted
to S4400. The bank was reOrganiZed and
continued business by compromising
with depositOrs at the rate of a
cents on the 81. Sachtleben re-
fused to sign the agreement and
held out for the full amount of his
claim. The lower court gave MIN judg
ment for the same with per cent. inter
est, and Chief Justice Willie, in his
opinion rendered to-day, attirms this
finding. There are several similar claims
pending against the bank, chiefly for
money due to minor heirs who were IN
able to sign the COMPROMISE arrange
ments. These payments, however, Will
in no way affect the soIvency of the bank
as it is doing good business since its
reorganization.
